  • Species and varieties: Centaurea cyanus, commonly known as cornflower or bachelor's button, is an annual flowering plant in the family Asteraceae. It is native to Europe but has been widely naturalized in North America and other parts of the world. Varieties include 'Blue Boy', 'Polka Dot Mix', and 'Classic Romantic'.
  • Hybrid or heirloom: Centaurea cyanus seeds are typically heirloom varieties, meaning they are open-pollinated and have been passed down through generations without genetic modification. Some hybrid varieties may also be available, offering specific traits such as unique colors or improved disease resistance.
  • Pruning and training: Centaurea cyanus requires minimal pruning. Deadheading spent flowers can encourage additional blooms and prolong the flowering period. No special training is needed as the plants have a natural, bushy growth habit.
  • Fertilization needs: Cornflowers are not heavy feeders and generally do well in average soil without additional fertilization. However, incorporating compost or a balanced, slow-release fertilizer at planting time can promote healthy growth and abundant blooms.
  • Hardiness zones: Centaurea cyanus is suitable for USDA hardiness zones 2-11. It can tolerate a wide range of temperatures and is known for its hardiness in cooler climates.
  • Climate requirements: Cornflowers prefer full sun and well-drained soil. They thrive in temperate climates with moderate rainfall. They can tolerate drought conditions once established but perform best with regular watering during dry periods.
